Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie

Last summer we toured Prince Edward Island, and on the advice of a local, we visited PEI Preserve Company and had a fine meal meal in their restaurant. Their sampled their dessert specialty...'Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie'. Of course! I took note and I took a photo. Now that the raspberries in our garden are ripe, I made my own version of their famous pie. It went over well! So here it is...PEI raspberry cream cheese pie made with BC raspberries.

Crust:1- 9 or 10-inch baked pie shell, pre-baked

Cream cheese filling:

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup icing sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla
until smooth.

Gradually add the cream, beating until thickened.

Spoon into prepared pie crust and spread evenly.

Raspberry Filling:

5 cups fresh raspberries

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

In large saucepan, mix granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt.

Add water and whisk until smooth.

Stir in 2 cups of the raspberries.

Heat to boiling.

Boil 1 minute,
stirring constantly.

Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Add 3 cups fresh raspberries to the cooled mixture and stir gently to coat all the berries.

Spoon over cream cheese layer of pie.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Topping:

1 cup whipping cream

1 tablespoon sugar

In medium bowl, beat whipping cream, sugar and vanilla on high
speed until stiff peaks form.

I live with my husband on a dairy farm in the beautiful Fraser Valley of British Columbia. We enjoy having our grown children and our delightful grands living nearby. I usually have a project or two on the go and the coffee's always on!

Looks wonderful. In the cream cheese layer, the whipped cream is it already whipped or you pour in the liquid and whip it all together with the cream cheese? Love simple recipes and I think I'll make even simpler by using a graham wafer crust.
